Albritton_Reunion.2.12.11
On 12 February 2011, the Albritton family honored Walter and Caroline Johnson Albritton (Uncle Walter and Aunt Caroline) at a fun-filled reunion and celebration of family in Wetumpka, AL. Daughter Margie Albritton Flomer was kind enough to share all of her photos posted at “dotphoto.com” Click here to see all the fun and festivities! [Note: if you are on Facebook, ask to “friend” Margie Helen Berkstresser Johnson. She has even more wonderful photos of the reunion!] The family plans on making this a yearly event with a gathering on or about 9 February, Uncle Walter and Aunt Caroline’s wedding anniversary date.

It's another fabulous reunion for the Johnson Family!

28/06/10 00:30

Thank you Bill Bassett, Dottie Ennis, and Julie Hawkins and families (the family of Uncle Julian and Aunt Neva Johnson Bassett) for another wonderful Johnson Family Reunion! The Johnson family gathered for the reunion on Saturday, 26 June 2010, at Mulder Memorial United Methodist Church, 3454 Firetower Road in Wetumpka, AL - the first in this location. The children enjoyed having their faces painted by their older cousins and playing on a HUGE, fully-equipped playground. Lunch seating was arranged by decade age groups, and thus cousins got to know their cousins of similar age. Of course, the food was fabulous as always with many favorite dishes prepared from the Johnson Family cookbook. The family was led in patriotic and fun family songs by the Bassett family with Gene Burt Johnson Davis accompanying on the keyboard. There were some great family games. One was a real "stumper" where we had to identify those in a collage made up of old family photos! All were identified in the end by sharp eyes and keen minds. Family members came from far and wide to the reunion - including from Florida, Texas, California, and... wait for it... Brazil!

Did you get your copy of the Johnson Family Roster? Bill Bassett did a great job with this. He contacted at least one, if not several, from each family group, and, after many correspondences, compiled a directory of all the living first cousins (grandchildren of Seth and Neva Kate Carmichael Johnson), their spouses and adult children. The directory includes current addresses and email addresses. No excuse not to stay in touch with your cousins now! :-)

Family Reunion Pics

We need pictures from the reunion! We saw you snapping away. Won't you share? Please send your photos or a link to your photos to Jean at johnsonreunion(at)brooknet(dot)com, and we'll get them posted here asap! We already have some great ones from Margie Helen and Parley Philip. Just to show you how valuable these photos are to future generations, here is a family reunion photo circa 1949, approximately 61 years ago! Can you identify those in the photo? "Hover" your mouse over the people in the photo to reveal their names. Thanks for sharing this great old photo, Parley Phiip!

MARK YOUR CALENDAR! Next year's Johnson Family Reunion will be hosted by the family of Walter and Caroline Johnson Albritton on 2 July 2011 again at the Mulder Memorial United Methodist Church in Wetumpka. We'll post more information here closer to the reunion date.

Again, thank you, Bill, Dottie and Julie and families for a fabulous reunion!! Read More...

Seth Johnson Elementary grateful for family donation to library

09/09/09 21:36
This year at the Johnson Family Reunion, family members gave most generously to the Seth Johnson Elementary School Library - a total of $1700! On 9 September 2009, Orson L. “Pete” Johnson, son of David Glenn and Vaunita Oswald Johnson (Uncle Dave and Aunt Vaunita) visited the school at 4550 Narrow Lane Road in Montgomery. He presented the family’s library donation to Principal Jacqueline Campbell and Library Media Specialist Joyce Brown. Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Brown send a very heartfelt thank you to all family members who contributed. The money will be used to purchase much needed books for the library.

While making the presentation, Pete took the opportunity to tell students in the library about Seth and Neva Kate Carmichael Johnson and about their daughter Neva Carmichael Johnson Bassett (Aunt Neva) who gave the land for the school in honor of her father. The picture at right is of Pete with the children and school officials at the presentation. Here are more pictures.

Thank you again to everyone who contributed to the Seth Johnson Elementary School Library. The gifts of reading and literacy are precious.

Thank you, Aunt Katie, to you and all of your family for a wonderful Johnson Family Reunion! Hunter Hills was a great place to hold the reunion - cool, spacious, well located, and fun for the children. The Church had a wonderful new playground and the Murphy’s also provided a huge slip and slide and plenty of fun crafts. All family members enjoyed the display of family photos. They provided a family history lesson and a walk down memory lane. Oh, and the food, food, food... ALWAYS fantabulous!!
